Carl Jung
1875-1961 · Human Sciences · Household name
Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who broke with Freud over the nature of desire and founded his own school, analytical psychology. A deeper layer of mind runs beneath your own memories, he held, stocked with figures every culture rediscovers: the shadow, the great mother, the wise old man. He called the work of a lifetime individuation, the long job of becoming the whole of what you are, shadow included.
